l think no law Of hospitality is violated
in the remark that believe the Major
would much rather talk horses than
Henry Clay. 1t was pretty hard to
Keep him off the subject of Dictator
colts and King Rene FLIES. The Major,
however, showed portrait of Henry
Clay hanging in the hall at the age OF
forty, painted by Matthew Jouett,
Kentucky artist; also an old
dagueweotype of the man at
sixty-seven. The house and its
fittings are so modern and the latter
are so elegant, for Major Mcdowell
is a man of wealth, that one finds
it more interesting in searching for
"reminiscences of Clay to wander about
the grounds, gaze upon the trees
he planted with his own hands, upon
the outbuildings, such as the old barn
and the icc-houses that are as they
were half a century ago, and walk in
the paths he laid out and graded. The
view from the front of the mansion is a
beautiful one. 1t takes into the panO-
rama the town of Lexington, and a
mile beyond the Clay monument pierces
the heavens, tiny object, but clear
and well-detined.
The only son of Henry Clay alive is
John M. Clay, whose residence and the
stables of his string of thoroughbreds
are in plain view of Ashland. John M.
is nothing more than q very respect
able citizen. He has inherited none OF
his fathers great mental gifts.
The eldest son was James B. Clay,
whom Taylor put into the diplomatic
service. He inherited Ashland from
his father, and during the war, it will
be remembered, became SeceSsionist,
and to save himself from trouble took
refuge in Canada. He died without
issue. Hery Clay, jr., the favority son.
went to the Mexican war as Lieutenant
Colonel of a Kentucky regiment, and
was killed at Buena Vista His only
child, daughter, is wife Of Major
Mcdowell, and the mother of grown
young men Just out of Yale. Thomas
H. Clay, another son, was appointed by
President Lincoln Minister to Nicara-
qua. He was quite prominent in poll
tics as Republican, but he, too, died
some time after the war. And so are
fast dwindling in number the older of
the descendants of Henry Ciay.-C0r.

AT CLAWS OLD HOME.
The Great Kentuckians Descendants and
How and Where They Live.

HOW ana Where Ihey Live.
1t was late in the afternoon when l
rang the bell to the main entrance to
the mansion. A bright-eyed young
miss responded, and as 1 handed her
my card | realized at once, not with
out slight feeling of emotion, too,
that was being greeted by the great
granddaughter of Henry Clay. Young
as she is, she evidently knows what
Kentucky hospitality is, for without
glancing at the card even, she ushered
her visitor into noble drawing-roOm,
where a bright coal fire was blazing.
1t is an imposing mansion, this historic
home of the Clays. The first entrance
is into large square hall finished in
polished ash and foored with hard
wood, which no covering but rug con-
ceals. To the left rs one enters is the
study of Henry Clay-his own work
room, where he studied, wrote and re-
ceived his political and other friends
Directly ahead as one enters the front
door is a broad entrance to a double
drawing-room richly furnished and
adorned with pictures and family por-
traits. This in turn leads into an
octagonal dome-covered library lined
with polished wood throughout. The
shelves on all sides contain thousands
of volumes, many of them of great
value. To the right of the square hall
and in one corner rises broad and
richly designed staircase of polished
ash.
Major Mcdowell greeted his visitor
cordially and very cheerfully gave
him such information about the
old place as was needed. Many
visitors came to Ashland and al
we're made welcome. Unfortunately
there were but few relics of the ole
times or the old occupants, but the
Major showed a picture of curious ole
bedstead used by his wife's grandpar
ents, now in possession of anothe
member of the family.
One can see that the Major him
self is not much of an antiquarian, an,
that his bump of reverence for a dis
tinguished ancestry was either neye
developed or has shriveled up in tn
constant presence of his surrounding

SENSIBLE DIVERSION.
Young Ladies' Cooking Clubs Formed for
Highly Useful Purposes.

Young Ladies' Cooking Clubs Formed for
Highly Useful Purposes.
1t is now quite fashionable diver
sion for young ladies and girls to form
clubs for the purpose of learning how
to cook both plain and fancy articles of
food. Clubs generally number eight
or ten girls. Each one cooks at home
some one article suitable for luncheon,
and then all meet at the house of one
of the members, where the table is set
and every thing is in readiness for their
entertainment. The young lady hostess
provides one substantial course, such as
chops and peas, or beefsteak and to-
mato sauce. Every thing else is con-
tributed by the guests, who, when they
arrive promptly at the hour stated,
hand to the servant whatever they have
prepared. with directions whether it is
to be kept hot or placed on the table
just as it is, etc. The hostess, after
setting the table tastcfully, orders three
or four sets of plates heated, and extra
knives and forks placed near at hand.
After the arrival of the guests, lunch
con is Immediately announced and is
more or less elaborate, as the case may
be.
1t has been my privilege to watch the
growth of one or more of these clubs,
and in order to stimulate young people
to follow the good example of these en-
terprising and surprisingly successful
cooks, ventured to ask for their reci-
pes, and in sending them to me they
kindly enclosed the menu of their last
luncheon, and described the table
decorations. The lunch cards were
made of yellow blotting paper, on
which the names were written with
gold paint Through the corner Of
each card was thrust a yellow daffodil.
Under the bowl of flowers which serV-
ed as center piece was square of yell
low blotting-paper, on which was
painted, in rough outline with gold
paint, a dainty jonquil pattern, which
looked quite like the shadow of the
bright yellow blossoms in the bowl.
The napkins were Japanese, of dull
yellow color. Oranges were arranged
with yellow bananas on either side Of
the center-pece. The prize consisted
of string of amber beads.
With very little trouble, the effect
produced was quite novel and pretty,
and can be copied readily, unlike
many things that require the outlay Of
much time and money. The prize at
these clubs is awarded to her who has
the most votes for what she has cooked.

luncheon. Cheer.

OLD SAWS IN RHYME.

Actions speak louder than words ever do;
You can't eat your cake and hold on to 1t, too
When the cat is away then the little mice play;
Where there is will there is always way.
Ones deep in the mud as the other in the miro;
Don't Jump from the fryingpan into the fire.
There is no use crying DER milk that is split
NO accuser is needed by conscience OF guilt.
There must be some fire wherever is smoke;
The pitchergoes oft TO the well till it's broke.
BY rogues falling out honest men get their due;
whoever it fits, he must put on the shoe.
All work and no play will make Jack dull boy;
thing of much beauty is ever JOY.
half loaf is better than no bread at all;
And pride always goeth before a sad fall
Fast bind and fast find; have two strings to
your bow;
Contentment is better than riches. we know.
The devil finds work for hands idle to do:
miss is as good US a mile to you.
You speak OF the devil-he's sure to appear;
You can't make silk purse from out sow's

A man by his company always is known;
Who lives in glass houses should not throw o
stone.
When the blind leads the blind both will fall in
the ditch.
It's better born lucky than being born rich
Little pitchers have big ears burnt child breads

Though speaking the truth no one credits liar.
Speech may be silver but silence is gold;
There's never fool like the fool who is old.

PARTISAN GOWNS.
Costly Costumes Recently Exhibited by q
New York Importer.


Among the unusually elegant Paris
ian gowns made by various French ar
fists of celebrity are some quaint and
beautiful toilets designed especially for
the high teas and receptions of early
summer In the list of rare toilets
which beautifed the parlors of an up
town importer was dress of heliotrope
corded silk bordered with superb en-
broidery of shaded heliotrope beads,
the front parting to show petticoat
beneath of palest blue-rose satin, bro
caded with mauve flowers Of the most
eXquisitive tints. The bodice was cut
in Pompadour shape, and decorated
with the heliotrope bead-work, with
epaulettes of the same on each shout
der. A second dress was made of cream
white satin brocaded with pink roses
with leaves of shaded gold informing
ling. The bodice and train were of the
hrocade. with killed satin panels at
each side, lined with pink and gold
shot silk. From beneath these kits
were brought exquisite lace draperies,
which were caught up on the left side
of the gown and held by ornaments of
pink, pearl and gold. A rare Floren-
tine robe made of jonquil-yellow satin
yelled with black lace, was combined
with yellow faille striped with wide
bands of black velvet, overweight
with jetted arabcsques, These designs
in the finest of cut jet were novel and
intricate, and the robe rs a
whole was a marvel of French
handicraft and skill in its novel style
and stately effect Another magnif-
cent toilet Gncluding in the outfit of
a prospective bride) consists of a robe
OF dovc-gray crepe lisse, brocaded with
shadowy moss roses and folia ye, this
made up over a glove-fitting princess
/ slip of cameo-tinted surah. The sue
cess of this picturesque and uncommon
gown was due to its artistic draping.
The bodice has short sleeves, reUerS,
and Medici collar of moss-green velvet.
An odd visiting gown made of black
satin duchess was trimmed with rich
gold gimps, gold cording, and large
gold buttons in old medallion designs.
The continental coat of the satin opened
broadly over a very long, deep waist
coat with deep pocket flaps at eacl
side, ornamented with gold bands anC

To the Editor OF TIE HERALD.
There eughs to be some means OF
obtaining adequate resompecse for
those unfortunate men who have, been
made to suffer so unjustly and Illegally
by the enforcement of the disbOlical
doctrine of segregation in the courts.
If possible the prosecutor and the
judges who were responsible for the
injury uniustifably inflicted ought to
be sued and made TO pay all damages.
Kthere Is any way in which such a
suit 80 he brought against the many
he done. No sane man BENZ t1--Ss
the enforcement of that atrocioU5 doc
trine was the result of anything better
than deliberate vindictiveness, spite,
and brutality. o. course no justice in
such q sase cSGld be expected il'l the
Utah courts under federal auspices, but
if such suit could be sent up to the
Supreme Court of the Unite States,
there might be some b pc, fer you
know Dickson does not run that court,
and consequently there might be- some
show Of humanity, reason, and Justice
there. The court of last resort is not
Dicksenized to any alarming extent,
ant fair play therein, for M0rmons
even, is not altogether thing Of the
past.
If = suit can not be brougktS then
each person injured should ma ze out
bill Of damages to the prosecutor and
Judge who have injured him, holdsng it
as debt Of honor, if it cannot be held
as debt in law. ought rather to say
debt of dishonoI, but debt OF honor
is the usual term. The bill should be
sent early and often to the guilty
debtors, or to their executors, admins
traitors, heirs, and assigns with request
for early. full. and satisfactory payment,
with interest if required. Eternal
Justice demands that American citizens
be not made to suffer un:pstly and
Illegally without full and prompt recon-
pease.

The German Campaign.

BERLIN, February 18.-Prussian pro-
vincial governors have issued circular
advising officials of the unusual impor-
lance of the ceming election for the
Reichstag, and urging them to refrain
from doing anything to assist the op.
ponents of government. Ministries of
other German states have adopted a
similar course. The National Liberal
committee of Lubbock, sent to Bismarck
a copy of placard posted on the walls
Of that city by progressists, quoting
from pretended manifesto the Emper-
or's statement that no war was impend-
ing. Bismarck Immediately telegraphed
reply which was placarded throughout
Lubbock, stating that the declaration OF
the Emperor was a absolute invention.
The Post denounces the lying methods
resorted to by progressists and centre
members. THE latter" says the Post,
ARE especially assiduous in efforts to re-
duce the Importance of the Pope's de-
clarations. In the eyes of Catholics, the
conservative Catholic movement is Ger
